Abstract

Systems and methods for preparing and analyzing data related to geo-spatial properties. A system generates from a first data source, based on an ontology, a geographic dataset including first data objects representative of first data from the first data source and at least one geo-spatial reference based on respective location information from the first data source that corresponds to the first data. The system can also generate a vector map data tile layer based on the ontology using the geographic dataset and including vector map data tiles, having map geometry data linked to the first data objects by a geo-spatial reference, and corresponding to a portion of a geographic area represented by the vector map data tile layer. In response to requests from the front-end system application for first data related to a geo-spatial feature, tiles can be provided and first data corresponding to selected geo-spatial references can be displayed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system comprising:
one or more non-transitory computer storage mediums configured to store computer-executable instructions; and
one or more computer hardware processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the computer system to:
generate, from a first data source and based on an ontology, a geographic dataset including data objects with geo-spatial properties based on location information from the first data source;
generate, using the geographic dataset, a first vector map data layer including map data tiles with map geometry data associated with the data objects;
generate a mapping between:
geo-spatial features in a user application on a front-end system relating to geographic areas, and
the map geometry data included in the map data tiles of the first vector map data layer; and

in response to receiving, from the user application, a selection of a geo-spatial feature displayed on the front-end system and a request for information related to the selected geo-spatial feature, generate and provide one or more enriched map data tiles to the front-end system, the enriched map data tiles including information of the selected geo-spatial feature, the information being from the first vector map data layer and determined based on the mapping between the selected geo-spatial feature and associated map geometry data of the first vector map data layer.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the geo-spatial features in the user application of the front-end system are displayable geo-spatial features relating to geographical areas.

3. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the geo-spatial features in the user application of the front-end system are not derived from the first data source.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer hardware processors are further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to to cause the computer system to display map geometry data mapped to a selected geo-spatial feature on the user application on the front-end system.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the map geometry data is representative of a characteristic of people, business, or nature.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first data source is not structured based on the ontology.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable to create a geographic data set based on an input received from the front-end user system.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises the front-end user system.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the geographic dataset includes data of two or more different formats including at least one of Well-Known Text or GeoJSON.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first vector map data layer includes map geometry data linked to first data objects having temporal data depicting a property related to the respective map geometry at multiple instances in time.

11. A method comprising:
generating, from a first data source and based on an ontology, a geographic dataset including data objects with geo-spatial properties based on location information from the first data source;
generating, using the geographic dataset, a first vector map data layer including map data tiles with map geometry data associated with the data objects;
generating a mapping between:
geo-spatial features in a user application on a front-end system relating to geographic areas, and
the map geometry data included in the map data tiles of the first vector map data layer; and

in response to receiving, from the user application, a selection of a geo-spatial feature displayed on the front-end system and a request for information related to the selected geo-spatial feature, generating and providing one or more enriched map data tiles to the front-end system, the enriched map data tiles including information of the selected geo-spatial feature, the information being from the first vector map data layer and determined based on the mapping between the selected geo-spatial feature and associated map geometry data of the first vector map data layer.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the geo-spatial features in the user application of the front-end system are displayable geo-spatial features relating to geographical areas.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the geo-spatial features in the user application are not derived from the first data source.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising displaying map geometry data mapped to a selected geo-spatial feature on the user application on the front-end system.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
generating, from a second source, a second geographic dataset based on data objects representative of second data from the second source and having at least one geo-spatial property based on respective location from the second source that corresponds to the second data;
generating a second vector map data layer based on the ontology using the second geographic dataset, the second vector map data layer including second map data tiles having map geometry data associated with the data objects representative of the second data from the second source, each second map data tile corresponding to a portion of a geographic area represented by the second vector map data layer;
generating a mapping between geo-spatial features in the user application and corresponding map geometry data in the second vector map data layer; and
in response to a request from the front-end user system application for information related to selected map geometry data in the second vector map data layer, generating and providing second one or more enriched map data tiles of the second vector map data layer to the front-end system, the second enriched map data tiles of the second vector map data layer including map geometry data and information from data objects that are associated with the selected map geometry data in the second vector map data layer by the ontology.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising displaying map geometry data and information from data objects that are associated with the selected map geometry data in the second vector map data layer.
